Mt. Wilson Fire Status (Sep 1 2009)
- Mt Wilson still intact for now! Status, Towercam.
- Image from Mt. Wilson Observatory Towercam at 12:06 pm. Observatory website still up, but towercam very slow.
- Mt. Wilson Towercam showing lots of smoke: 12:21 was the last image I could get.
- Definitely cooler today, but humidity & smoke since the wind changed make it feel worse outside.
- Mt. Wilson good news: smoke on towercam was from backfires. Bad: website offline, cam not updating. Status on backup server.
- Los Angeles Fires Seen From Space (from @ecolady via @ThisIsTrue)
Images from the Mt. Wilson Observatory Towercam & NASA. You can probably figure out which is which.
